When a 2 BHK is enough
Couples, small families and buyers planning to rent out the flat often do well with a 2 BHK of around 1,090 sq.ft. It costs less to buy, furnish and maintain, and rents quickly in South Chennai.
When to choose a 3 BHK or larger
If parents stay with you, children need their own rooms, or you work from home, a 3 BHK of 1,435–1,625 sq.ft gives that extra room. For more space, a top-floor 4 BHK with a private terrace works like an independent house in the sky.
Before you buy: a quick checklist
- Title and patta Ask for the parent documents, patta and encumbrance certificate, and have a lawyer check them.
- Approved plan Check that the building follows the sanctioned plan — number of floors, setbacks and parking.
- UDS for your flat Your undivided share of land should be written in the sale deed. More UDS means more land you own.
- Road width and water Wider roads mean easier access and better resale. Ask about borewell depth and Metro water.
- Build quality Ask what the walls are built with, what sand is used for plastering and which brands go into fittings.
